The phenomenon of electron tunnelling has been known since the advent of quantum
mechanics, but continues to enrich our understanding of many fields of physics, as well as …

In recent years, spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) with parabolic and linear band
dispersions have aroused great interest worldwide in the field of materials science due to …

Spintronics refers commonly to phenomena in which the spin of electrons in a solid state
environment plays the determining role. In a more narrow sense spintronics is an emerging …

The role of the metal-oxide interface in determining the spin polarization of electrons
tunneling from or into ferromagnetic transition metals in magnetic tunnel junctions is …

The growth of an oxide film on a bare metal surface by oxidation is a complex process
usually obstructing description in terms of a single rate-determining mechanism. The initial …

Magnetic oxides show a variety of extrinsic magnetotransport phenomena: grain-boundary,
tunnelling and domain-wall magnetoresistance. In view of these phenomena the role of …

Spin polarized tunneling studies by Tedrow and Meservey in the early 1970s that showed
the spin conservation in electron tunneling gave rise to the possibility of spin sensitive …

We report on a theoretical study of spin-polarized quantum transport through a Ni-
bezenedithiol (BDT)-Ni molecular magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). Our study is based on …

The structure and morphology of thin aluminium-oxide films grown by the dry, thermal
oxidation of a bare Al (431) substrate at a partial oxygen pressure of 1.33× 10− 4 Pa in the …

[Pd]-exchanged NaY zeolites have been prepared, characterized, and applied for the first
time for catalytic carbon− carbon coupling reactions. The catalysts exhibit a high activity and …
